Help update the national skills standards across the food and beverage processing industry.
A lot has changed in the food and beverage processing world in the past decade, driving new innovations in products and processes. Do you work in food or beverage processing? You’re invited to help identify current work practices and skills, so that they can be captured in the industry-led units of competency, skill sets and qualifications.
Why is this project happening?Today there are more food and beverage options than ever before. Consumers also care more about where their food comes from, what is in it and how it’s packaged. Industry is responding to the needs of the consumer, using new technologies and systems to improve the quality and diversity of products.
The industry now has a greater need for skills and knowledge about traceability, risk management, food fraud, contamination, allergens, recall procedures, sustainability, health and safety, automation, and digitalised manufacturing. These skills are required across the production chain, for those on the processing line, through to labelling, packaging and bottling. It’s time to reflect these new trends and innovations in the national skills standards.The Food, Beverage and Pharmaceutical Industry Reference Committee is overseeing this project, as part of their responsibility to support engagement with the sector, and to ensure the project meets industry stakeholder needs.
